2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Sumatra Black

Which Single DIN head unit??

Looking to buy a single DIN head unit for my 2012 USW. Would like one that has good hands-free Bluetooth phone functionality and ability to play albums from a USB. Currently considering a JVC KD-R891BT from Halfords for £90 which appears to do all I need. Anyone had one of these or any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I replaced an old Alpine CD tuner with an Alpine UTE-92BT about a year ago. The menu system is arcane, but once set up you can forgive that because (a) you won't need to use it again, and (b) it sounds really good. Mine drives the rear speakers in the 110DC, with an external amp driving the front Focal components.

The Bluetooth and phone side works well when talking, but it does take a while to download the phone book and call lists.

I went for the Pioneer DEH-X8700DAB Car Stereo with DAB+ Tuner and it has been really good with an aux and USB port for music as well as good BT for hands free and music from the phone ...
I paired the aerial with a DAB spliter thing that gives good reception on both FM and DAB through the wing arial.

this is the 2nd one Ive had (had one for about 4 years in my previous 110 ...) and its been very reliable.

I got this, and a £15 DAB aerial also from Halfrauds. I cant fault either unit or aerial.

I know it doesn't do hands free, but my 110 isn't that quiet inside on the move. If I have to make a call I will stop.

+1 for Pioneer, I have an FM version but it allows two Bluetooth connections at once. I can therefore play music from a Bluetooth device while having my phone in my pocket connected should a call come through.
Obviously the call quality isn’t stellar for the person on the other end, but that’s down to the Landy not the tech!
